Stamash Martial Arts and Stamash Dance, the two branches of
Stamash as coined by Aristo Tacoma, are taught to young
adult girls in between the many other projects by the same.
Stamash involves excerpts from the softest of martial arts,
such as Aikido, and the hardest of them, such as Karate,
from the most spiritual of practises, such as Yoga Asanas,
and from rugged Western medical insights into what is sound
training, to which is added a sense of the tantric and a
touch of dance. It is distinct from classical asian martial
arts in that the often longer legs of the Western girl is
taken as starting-point, rather than the statistical
exception. That means that this is easier on the knees.
Another feature is that the body image cultivated is not
that of the leather-hardened bodybuilder woman, but rather
that of the slim sexy athletic girl who has the self-assurance
of knowing that she is able to defend herself; and who has
a variety of interesting exercises as part of what she can
do, by herself as in a group, to strenghten without
over-strenghten, and to make flexibility without making
over-flexibility.
Stamash is documented in writings by Aristo Tacoma,
including as one of many topics developed in the
five-volume book The Art of Thinking, which is being
written in 2016 and 2017.
This site, stamash.com, also has in it subsections that
support some of the other projects of Aristo Tacoma,
whose paint and photography name is Stein R. Weber.
